GIMME TINNITUS

So, I am not going to SXSW this year, but if I was here is a selection of mp3s from bands I would want to see. I was able to whittle down the list to 40 songs. No easy task. Listen.

If you want to download all the individual tracks in this post, you should think about installing the DownThemAll! Firefox extension.

These mp3s (and 606 more) can be found on the Unofficial SXSW 2010 Showcasing Artists Part 1 torrent. (Note: Part 2 is now online and I will do my best to go through it).

Oh, and if you aren’t totally sick of Austin, TX check out the excellent Casual Victim Pile comp on Matador.

So this post contains (pretty much) all of my favorite mp3s from 2009. I have not put them in any sort of preferential order. These are sorted by artist in alphabetical order.

Take your time, scroll slowly, there are some real gems here. You may notice some big names missing here. Well, you know you can find those mp3s elsewhere (right?).

I will be putting up best of 2009 posts all week, so make sure you check back here soon. Also, if you haven’t already, you should check out largehearted boy’s 2009 Year-End Online Music Lists. Good stuff.

San Diego self-proclaimed “mid-fi” band Tape Deck Mountain will be releasing their new album Ghost on Nov. 17 with the good folks at Lefse Records (that’s LEFF-suh Records). The whole “mid-fi” thing is a joke on the fact that the band mixes lo-fi and hi-fi sounds. Listen…
